  1. The mean values of PK parameters for both groups were shown here. All data were presented as means±SD. Statistcal differences between the two groups were indicated by asteriks (**P < 0.01). K10, elimination rate constant for central compartment; K20, elimination rate constant for peripheral compartment; K12, transfer rate constant from central compartment to peripheral compartment; K21, transfer rate constant from peripheral compartment to central compartment; V1, volume of the central compartment; V2, volume of the peripheral compartment; T1/2α, distribution half-life; T1/2β, elimination half-life; CL clearance; AUC area under the curve
